Project Overview
This dashboard presents the analysis of medal counts for Summer and Winter Olympic Games. It presents analyses of top sports by medals, identifies top country medalists and depicts how country medal counts changed over time and between summer and winter sports.
Data for the project come from The Guardian (https://www.kaggle.com/the-guardian/olympic-games) and covers the results of Summer and Winter Olympic Games between their modern inception in 1896 and 2014. The data are separated into two csv files - one for summer and one for winter games. Each file contains the following variables: year of the games, location of the games, medal holder’s name, medal type, sport, discipline and event, medal holder’s country and gender.
R Studio Version 1.2.1335 was used for the analyses and Flexdashboard Version 0.5.2 package was used for creating the dashboard.
